A New Standard of Florida Luxury
Along the sun-drenched shores of Manalapan, between Palm Beach Island and Delray Beach, a new chapter in Florida luxury is being written.
The residence at 1960 South Ocean Boulevard—priced at 285 million dollars—now stands as the most expensive home for sale in Florida and one of the most ambitious private estates ever constructed in the United States.
Designed by acclaimed Miami architects Choeff Levy Fishman, the estate unites ocean and Intracoastal living in a single composition.
Across nearly 4 acres of manicured land with more than 700 feet of combined waterfront, the property merges tropical modernism with monumental scale.
Architectural Masterpiece
Every line of the home was drawn to capture water and sky.
Walls of glass slide open to courtyards, reflecting pools and vast terraces that dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors.
The exterior, sculpted in limestone and glass, is punctuated by breezeways that frame sunrise over the Atlantic and sunset over the Intracoastal.
Spanning more than 50,000 square feet, the residence embodies collaboration at the highest level of design.
Robert W. Burrage of RWB Construction Management brought the structure to life with precision engineering, while Marc-Michaels Interior Design curated every finish, texture and furnishing for a seamless sense of calm sophistication.
Every space flows into the next—grand yet livable, sculptural yet intimate.
Interiors of Modern Grace
Inside, the tone is one of restrained opulence.
Eight ensuite bedrooms and sixteen baths form private wings that balance intimacy with light.
A central atrium brings natural illumination to floating staircases and art walls.
From the primary suite, glass doors open directly to an ocean-front terrace and a private spa pavilion.
The home includes a private car museum, bowling alley, golf simulator, movie theater, padel court, shooting range, and a state-of-the-art gym and spa.
Throughout, automation systems quietly manage lighting, temperature and sound, reinforcing the estate’s sense of effortless control.
Ocean and Intracoastal Harmony
Perhaps its most defining feature is geography itself: one property connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway.
An oceanside beach house and a separate guest residence anchor each edge of the estate.
A 3,700 square-foot infinity pool overlooks the Intracoastal, where waterfalls descend into lagoons landscaped with tropical flora.
A private dock allows direct access to the ocean via Boca Raton or Palm Beach Inlets—each capable of accommodating a mega yacht.
The effect is serenity wrapped in spectacle: a view that shifts from sunrise on the ocean to sunset on the waterway, framed entirely within one private domain.
Manalapan: America’s Hidden Billionaire Enclave
Long overshadowed by its famous neighbor, Palm Beach Island, Manalapan has quietly become one of America’s most exclusive zip codes.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the town now ranks among the highest concentrations of billionaire homeowners in the country.
Residents value its seclusion, its private beach access, and proximity to both Boca Raton Airport and Palm Beach International.
Ownership here includes membership at The La Coquille Club, the legendary private enclave at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa—a benefit extended to Manalapan homeowners since the 1950s.
Within this context, the new ocean-to-Intracoastal estate is not merely another luxury property; it is the architectural emblem of a new gilded age on Florida’s Gold Coast.
The Market Moment
Florida’s ultra-prime market continues to outpace national trends in 2025.
While overall home sales have cooled, trophy properties above 100 million USD remain intensely sought after by international buyers seeking tax advantages and year-round sunshine.
Analysts note that a closing anywhere near the current asking price would break both state and national records, surpassing previous Palm Beach sales near $173 million.
Experts from Forbes and Robb Report describe this listing as “a signal that Florida’s top-end luxury has eclipsed even the traditional strongholds of Los Angeles and New York.”
With every element custom-built and delivered turnkey, the property functions less like a home and more like a private resort—ready for immediate occupancy at the pinnacle of the market.
A Vision of Timeless Luxury
From every angle, 1960 S Ocean Boulevard redefines what it means to live beside the sea.
It is modern but eternal, monumental but peaceful.
It invites both quiet retreat and grand celebration.
As night falls and the reflection of the pool mirrors the stars above, one senses the rare alignment of architecture, craftsmanship and nature—a harmony that transcends wealth itself.
